STRUM, PICK AND SOLO

The Telematic V3 is a deeply sampled Fender Telecaster guitar, with both pickups recorded separately to give you the variety of sounds this famous guitar is known for. Every fret of every string was sampled with upstrokes, downstrokes, round robins, releases, staccatos, mutes, slides, hammer-ons, pull-offs, retriggers and fret noises - around 9562 samples in all.

There are four ways to play it, chosen with keyswitches from G5 to C6: the solo mode for melodies, the chord mode for easy strumming and picking, the patterns mode that does the strumming or picking for you, and the MIDI mode for your MIDI guitar controller. Its script has the same features as the Sunbird library.

Interface

A real strumming machine

The Telematic can strum in every way a guitarist does: up, down, muted, in legato, and it can fingerpick too. The engine is modelled on a careful analysis of thousands of real chords played by guitarists, and every aspect of it can be tweaked.

The chord recognition engine turns any chord you play on the keyboard into a real guitar voicing, drawn from a database of thousands of standard chords that you can edit or add to. Chord hammers let you play left-hand hammer-ons and pull-offs between chords while strumming or picking.

Triggers (C4 to C5)

C4: strum down
C#4: strum down, muted
D4: strum up
D#4: strum up, muted
E4, F4, G4, A4, B4 and C5 (the white keys): the 6 strings
F#4: plays the chord shifted by the Chord Slide value
G#4: stops the chord with a hand mute sample

Chord mode panel

Chord panel: shows the chord you are playing and its octave. The Voicing menu lists every possible voicing of that chord on a guitar, and you can select one for each octave. Click Edit, change the chord, then Apply to override that voicing or Insert to add it to the voicings available for that chord. Export and Load save and recall a chord configuration, including the song builder settings

Chord Mode: Guitar separates the note selection from the triggers: pressing a chord with the left hand only makes the soft sounds a left hand makes on a real guitar, and the right hand triggers the chords or single strings. Piano plays the chord as soon as you press it, with upstrokes and downstrokes chosen automatically from the position in the bar; release and replay any note of the chord to repeat it. It is more intuitive, but allows less detail and realism

Up/Down Trigger: on Manual, C4 strums down and D4 strums up. On Auto, C4 strums up or down depending on the position in the bar

Let Ring: whether the chord stops when you release your right hand - handy for fast or complex chord progressions

Mixed Mode: a mix of the solo and chord modes. Play one note at a time, or two as a legato, and it plays single notes or hammers and slides as set in the solo mode; play three notes or more, or two at once, and it strums the chord as in the piano mode

Accent: how hard you must play to trigger all 6 strings. Min String Amount sets the minimum number of strings played in a strum at the lowest velocity

Strum Speed: the overall time taken to strum all 6 strings

Strum Center: your right hand's position over the strings: at the top (1) you hear more of the first and second strings, at the bottom (6) more of the last two

Clean Play: how clean and precise the playing is: at 6 the engine always uses clean samples, at 1 it mostly uses samples of notes that were not pressed well

Chord Hammers: plays the hammer-ons and pull-offs between one chord and the next - probably what makes the library most realistic

Capo: simulates a real capo. With Transpose off, an E chord with the capo at fret 1 sounds as an F; with it on, the E stays an E and the engine looks for an alternate position starting from the capo - useful to play chords high on the neck

Auto Voicing: uses different chord positions depending on the octave you play in. Turn it off on a small controller, or to always play the first position

Patterns and the Pattern Maker

The patterns mode uses the same chord recognition as the chord mode, but its triggers play patterns instead of single strums. Loop them, fit them to the tempo or the time signature, change their velocity in real time from a controller, sync them to your host and add groove. Pick from a large selection, assign one to each trigger, and a full song takes a few clicks.

The Pattern Maker creates your own strumming and picking patterns in seconds, and they can be as long as you like. Save them and send them to other users - the pattern collection can only grow.

Patterns panel

Triggers: assign 13 patterns of your choice to 13 notes, from C4 to C5, or click the keys on the interface. Starting a pattern stops the previous one, releasing the key stops it, and the velocity you play sets the velocity of the whole pattern

Let Ring: whether the "off" events in the pattern are played

Length: the length of the pattern, from 1 to its full length, to fit the time signature of your song (odd numbers too)

Speed: plays the pattern at other speeds, half or double for example

Link: makes Let Ring, Length and Speed global for all patterns, or applies them to the selected pattern only

Average Vel: the centre velocity of the pattern. It starts at the velocity of the trigger and can be modulated from a MIDI controller - the modulation wheel by default

Deviation: the spread between the lowest and highest velocities of the pattern's events, also modulatable in real time

Shuffle: adds groove without quantizing, so the playing stays realistic

Latch: when on, a key starts the pattern and pressing it again stops it

Bar Sync: a pattern only starts at the next bar - useful when working in a sequencer

Pattern Maker

Grid: a step sequencer made for guitar strumming: each fret is a quarter note, and you can add a whole chord or, with the link icon off, a single string. Events on the same step are strummed with the strum engine's settings

Velocity: select an event and drag over it; a velocity of 0 removes it

Arrows: the up and down arrows at the top set the strum direction

String mute: the speaker icon to the left of a string mutes it completely

Mute and Stop: each step's Mute button plays a muted chord, and Stop releases the chord at the end of the step

Strum Speed: the strum speed of the pattern

Shuffle and Humanize: general controls, the same as on the patterns panel

Pages: create as many pattern pages as you want for variations on one key; copy, paste and reset a page or the whole pattern. Import the factory presets and modify them, save and reload your patterns, preview them, and Add to patterns puts them at the bottom of the patterns list

Song builder

Playing a series of chords can be hard, especially if you are not an advanced keyboardist. The song builder lets you choose the chord each single note triggers - press C alone and it plays C major, for example - for all 12 notes of the octave, so your songs are easy to build and to play.

Presets give you song ideas, chord progressions, modes and chord types. Combine them with the patterns, and pressing two keys at once is enough to play a song.

Solo mode and automatic hand position

The solo mode is made for melodies. A piano has only one middle C, but a guitar offers several places to play it: a smart hand position system decides where a real guitarist would put their hand and which string they would play. You can turn it off and stay in the first position if you prefer.

The legato engine automatically plays legato notes, hammer-ons, pull-offs or slides within the legato distance you set, and keyswitches give you palm mutes, harmonics (flageolets), percussion sounds and control of the legato engine.

Pickups, effects and MIDI guitar

Both the bridge and the neck pickups were recorded, and you can set the volume of each. Everything else can be tweaked too: the release, fret noise and pre-note volumes, and the MIDI response of your keyboard.

The FX panel adds distortion, chorus, amp and cabinet modelling, a tape delay and a spring reverb. And if you own a MIDI guitar, the MIDI mode expands its sounds: select the MIDI channel of each string and you are ready to play.
